Our mission is to help people live more healthful and sustainable lives
Bay Staters For Creative Wellbeing — formerly Bay Staters for Natural Medicine — began as handful of volunteers came together in 2020 to advocate for responsible access to plant medicine, including psilocybin mushrooms. Our volunteers led a successful grassroots education campaign to persuade ten communities — Somerville, Cambridge, Northampton, Easthampton, Amherst, Salem, Berkeley (California), Provincetown, Portland (Maine), and Medford — to officially recognize the benefits natural medicines can have for alleviating mental health challenges and neurological diseases
As this community organizing has evolved, we are focusing our work on raising public awareness of how our food choices, environmental stewardship, and financial planning affect our creative wellbeing. To this end, we host educational forages, healthful community potlucks, art education workshops, and personalized mentorship. We also support local environmental education campaigns to safeguard our natural world.
